Washington State Library News Rural public libraries around the state have put together digital collections of historic items and fascinating community heritage. Access is free and online. These collections were made possible by grants from Washington Rural Heritage, an initiative of the Washington State Library. The grants are funded by the Library Services and Technology Act through the Federal Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Library News Anne Lowe, president of Endicott Community Club, recently presented Caroline Morasch, Endicott librarian, with a check for $5,856 from proceeds of the German dinner and silent auction last November in Endicott. The proceeds will go toward the renovation of the present library in Endicott.
